Can you live forever

Chapter 252 Twin Fog, Public and Private Rights

Industrialization is a process of increasing capital density.

In the absence of external funds provided by the Wang family, the development of Qinyuan must rely on the scissors between workers and peasants to continuously obtain capital to inject into the process of industrialization.

Qinyuan is just a small remote county, and its size is far from enough to support industrialization.

In particular, the Wang family did not inject funds, but injected a lot of knowledge. Excessive investment in education not only put Qinyuan under great financial pressure, but a small county with a population of about [-] people has trained thousands of college students after universal literacy.

This external performance is not just a matter of employment.

Rather, the theoretical process of all industrial development is much higher than the actual process. Qinyuan’s finances collapsed once, and many projects had to be suspended. In the tenth year of Jiajing, they realized that development cannot be “closed doors”. They need Raw materials need to be dumped in the market.

Without the help of the Wang family, there are only two ways for Qinyuan to go.

Either stop industrializing and collapse, or expand outward.

"Without the help of the Wang family, Qinyuan would have been unable to survive six years ago. Qinyuan is too small, and many raw materials for industrial production must be purchased from outside, and the internal market cannot digest the produced goods, so they must be sold go outside."

"Different from the older generation."

"The younger generation in Qinyuan have a very strong desire to go out. This is not only because of the differences in their acceptance of ideas, but also because they feel the lack of resources. They are eager to expand and hope to inject the resources needed for industrialization. , I also hope that what I have learned will be useful.”

"They have seen the charm of industry, and what they have learned has made them understand the power of industry when it really explodes."

"They haven't done it yet, it's just that Qinyuan still maintains a fragile balance."

"Based on the commercial channels of the Wang family, the finances required to maintain the minimum industrial input and Qinyuan's public expenditures are maintained through the profits generated by industrial products and cigarettes."

"With this step, I know that Qinyuan is probably going astray."

"but."

"Can you tell me, if not, is there any other solution?"

Wang Jiangque was a little confused. Although she was trying her best to do some things, but Qinyuan developed all the way, and the problems she encountered were basically capital problems.

Just lack of money.

The all-round lack of money, the kind of lack of money that is almost suffocating and thirsty for air, is so lacking that it is crazy.

However, it’s not okay not to.

Without industrialization and without the development of productivity, relying solely on agricultural production is completely insufficient to pay for the current system costs. After equalizing land and exempting taxes, there is simply not enough agricultural surplus to invest in education, medical care, pensions, and the military.

And the more it develops, the more money it lacks...

The two walked around and ate the pancakes they bought at noon on the bank of the Qin River. In the scorching heat of May, Wang Jiangque took off his shoes naturally and skillfully, and dangled his feet in the water.

She bit the pancake and said: "I can't skip the capital stage at all. Colonial expansion is almost a passive demand."

"What you said is completely unacceptable in Qinyuan."

"Tighten your belt, don't say 30 years, even 300 years. Qinyuan is too small, and there is no possibility of the internal circulation to complete accumulation."

Wang Jiangque realized this very early on, so in the ninth year of Jiajing, he no longer asked Qinyuan to tighten his belt, and began to invest in public construction and social welfare to alleviate Qinyuan's development process. the contradiction...

That was the limit of what she could do.

She has no way to rely on her own strength to make the whole of Qinyuan believe in her. She obviously has enough leftovers not to enjoy it, but to tighten her belt for 30 to [-] years of development...

"The premise of internal circulation is indeed to have a large enough volume."

"Qinyuan's size is small, but Daming's size is big enough. Have you ever thought that when the twins Zishe used it, the smaller one had to embark on the road of colonial expansion, while Those with a large body are naturally suitable for internal circulation?"

Zhang Zhixiang also expressed his feelings, which belonged to the blooming of inspiration.

Hearing what Zhang Zhixiang said, Wang Jiangque was obviously taken aback, and murmured: "Da Ming is naturally suitable for internal circulation..."

Zhang Zhixiang nodded and said, "That's right."

"We Huaxia are a huge family of vast land. There is no country or civilization in the world that has such a large territory and such a large population."

"The Wang family is engaged in overseas trade."

"The amount of silver that flows into Daming every year is only over 1 million taels, but what is the value of the annual grain output on the land of Ming Dynasty? Daming's arable land must be more than one billion mu, and the converted grain output is more than [-] million taels."

"When Ming Dynasty occupied economic hegemony, the efficiency of trade profits far exceeded that of war plunder."

"But the gap between the internal and external volumes is as large as more than ten times."

"From the perspective of Ming Dynasty, there is no route for colonial expansion at all."

"Later generations need to tighten their belts and work hard. That's because we started out poor and empty. It was the poorest period in Chinese civilization since ancient times, and Ming Dynasty was rich, very rich."

"Since ancient times, no one has been as rich as Daming."

Wang Jiangque understood what he meant, and Zhang Zhixiang believed that Daming had already completed the accumulation of primitive capital. Even if it had not been completed, our own production would have far exceeded the income from external plunder, at least in this era.

As for gold and silver, Wang Jiangque didn't care.

The lack of currency and lack of sufficient liquidity in Ming Dynasty is a sign of being too rich. This shows that the property of Ming Dynasty has far exceeded the total amount of money, and the use of silver as currency caused serious deflation in Ming Dynasty.

This problem has been solved after Jiajing opened a bank to maintain the banknote credit of Daming Banknotes.

After gold and silver lose their currency status, what value is there?
What is the essence of Daming's overseas trade today? It is the goods produced by Daming in exchange for those overseas gold and silver... and the trade of repurchasing raw materials only accounts for a very small part.

"Isn't this still dealing with money?"

Wang Jiangque found that the internal circulation is also inseparable from money, and in an ideal world, there should be no money, and everything should be distributed according to needs.

"We have spent thousands of years developing money, why should it be abolished? What is the nature of money? The standard answer is general equivalents, but in my opinion, it is quantifiable power."

"Qinyuan lacks money, and what it lacks essentially is the right to control raw materials. If there is control over raw materials, the products produced don't even need to be traded."

"How much a person spends, we can see how much power he uses in this society on the surface."

"We can adjust and balance."

"If currency is abolished, then everything will be unquantifiable. Good and evil are people's heart. You can't expect everyone to be a saint and be able to control their own possession of resource power."

"So, even if the material is extremely rich, it is impossible to distribute it according to needs."

"Because, being greedy is not just about taking what you need, or that everyone's needs are different...that's not a sustainable balance system at all."

"Mr. Yangming focused on people's hearts, and he only dared to say that everyone can become a saint and is on the road of cultivation, but he dared not say that everyone has already become a saint."

"The pair of twins are based on the Xiluo people's one-sided understanding of civilization."

"Cannot be limited by its scope."

"It is even more unbelievable to believe in the end of history. The development of civilization can never be maintained in a certain ultimate state, eternally unchanged, because this fundamentally violates the meaning of the birth of civilization."

"Wang Jiangque."

"We have to break away from the theoretical framework of twins and grasp the main contradiction in the development of civilization-power comes from private interests, or power belongs to the public."
